Seafood Primavera Squares

I liked that you could easily make these ahead of time and not have to worry about heating up your kitchen at night or cooking while a party is starting. That said, they had good flavor but weren't anything special. It was a really good way to eat your veggies though. Also, does anyone know what "primavera" means?

• 2 cans Pillsbury crescent dough sheets
• 4 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup seafood cocktail sauce
• 1 tsp prepared horseradish
• 6 oz can crab meat, drained, flaked
• 1 cup frozen salad shrimp, thawed, rinsed 
• 1 cup finely chopped broccoli
• 3 green onions, thinly sliced
• 1/3 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
• 1/3 cup finely chopped green bell pepper
• 1/3 cup finely chopped yellow bell pepper

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Unroll the dough sheets and pat over the bottom of an 11x17 inch baking sheet with sides, pressing edges to seal. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until light brown. Let stand until cool.

Meanwhile, beat the cream cheese, sour cream, cocktail sauce, and horseradish in a large mixer bowl at medium speed until creamy, scraping bowl occasionally. Spread over the baked dough. Layer with the crab meat, shrimp, broccoli, green onions, and peppers. Chill, covered with plastic wrap, until serving time. Cut into 40 squares.
